Haggerty and Harrison had been throwing shade at each other over the years, and fans hoped they would settle their differences under the ONE banner.

But now that their rivalry is over, it would not be all that surprising to see Haggerty potentially spend time under Harrison's tutelage for his future bouts as the former looks to carry the torch that the latter held for so long in the Art of Eight Limbs.
